I love bars. Being a history graduate student, only two things keep me sane: Hockey and Alcohol.

Well today I discovered a sweet drink. After having about 6 beers at home, I went out with Amy, some music grads, and 2 of Amy’s friends from high school. At the “Upstairs bar” in Bloomington, IndIana, we ordered something called the A. M. F., or Adios Mother Fucker, consisting of about 5 parts vodka, 5 parts gin, 2 parts sprite, and 1 part blue shit; it is the most amazing drink ever.

I highly recommend it, and Kevin, if you ever make it down here, I will buy you one (its only 7 bucks, for about 10 shots!),

Drink UP!

When I first saw Office Space years ago, I was worried my future as an engineer would involve TPS reports and frequent remarks about having “a case of the Mondays.” Luckily, I haven’t had to endure these atrocities, but there have certainly been others.

Okay, I want to settle this with Jon:

What do you say when you’re typing this out?  If you want context, think of an electronic correspondence with a friend (not IMing, but the method in question).

I’m totally right, but I’m not gonna say which one I use.

I personally have a lot of memories of playing with them back in the day; my favorite set was the Ice Planet 2002 set from 1993-94, with the Deep Freeze Defender as the main ship.

I mean, I guess they must if the spammers still send it out…

Anyway, I got this in my Gmail today, and I’m wondering why their algorithm couldn’t calculate a spam probability of 100% and keep it out of my inbox.  I mean, this has to be one of the classic formats.

I don’t think I’ve ever really seen anything this bad, but at this Georgia high school AAA Championship game around 2 weeks ago, a few of the Georgia players were upset with the way the game was going and hatched a rather nefarious plot. Nine of them had been struck out in a row, but I think at most I’d expect some foul language or throwing bats at the ground or helmets even. But this kind of response was just beyond me; it’s fairly obvious that the catcher wasn’t tracking the ball and had no intention of catching it whatsoever:
